Data
-- Geographic Information
Seoul has two administrative area levels: gu and dong. Seoul has 25 gus and 424 dongs, so each gu contains about 17 dongs on average. Each dong has a residential population of about 20,000 ~ 30,000, and an area of 1.43km2 on average. We used the dong-typed data from SGIS in Korea National Statistical Office (통계청 지리정보서비스), and the data was updated in 2014.
